Researchers from around the world met Friday to discuss treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) with a brain surgery called deep brain stimulation (DBS).
Baylor College of Medicine doctors have seen success treating OCD with DBS, which is promising for patients who aren’t successful with other treatments.
“The OCD was just growing and growing and had really taken over everything. I was unrecognizable to myself, to my family, to my friends,” Whitson said almost in tears. “It just really took over every aspect of my life.” Whitson said she tried numerous intensive therapies before DBS but none could improve compulsive behavior until after the operation.“After going through the DBS and then ERP again, I am able to recognize it coming up with the obsessions and compulsions and recognize it for what it is and kind of move on. Let it be there but move on,” she said.
